Contranyms and Others

Why is it that when your alarm goes off you turn it off?

When you dust your cake pan you are putting dust on it, but when you dust your house, you are taking the dust off.

Sometimes the quiet person gets overlooked, but from an overlook you can see everything.

Buckling your belt won't keep your knees from buckling.

Brer Rabbit could no longer run fast when he was stuck fast to the tarbaby.

Flammable and inflammable more or less the same.

Are reckless drivers more apt to be wreckful?

This could go on, but I'd better refrain. Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh.
